The billionaire businessman has spent about $418 million on television ads, which is about $100 million more than all of the other Democratic contenders combined.
Bloomberg, a former Republican, launched an unconventional Democratic presidential bid in late November. He has foregone campaigning in early voting states and has not asked for campaign contributions. Instead, the billionaire—who has been dubbed an"oligarch" by many critics—has dipped into his vast fortune to fund his candidacy, spending big on ads nationwide, while specifically targeting Super Tuesday voting states.
"Sixty billion dollars can buy you a lot of advertising, but it can't erase your record," Biden said in an interview with NBC NewsAs Biden went on to explain, Bloomberg's record has facedover the past few weeks. For example, the former New York mayor's history of significantly expanding and defending the controversial"stop and frisk" policing strategy has brought strong condemnation from prominent black and latino activists.
"Ninety-five percent of murders, murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take a description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops," he said during a talk for the Aspen Institute that year. The candidate has also faced criticism for a reported history of making sexist and misogynistic remarks to women who worked for him, as. In one case, Bloomberg reportedly told a female employee to"kill" her unborn baby when he discovered she was pregnant, then expressing frustration about maternity leave. On another occasion, the billionaire reportedly suggested female employees should give a male colleague oral sex before he got married.
